Hi,

This works (cut'n'pasted from a sucessfull installation on a Raq3 in January), but I know there is a slightly quicker & cleaner way to install php4, but hey what the heck !  This also includes Zend optimizer, its supposed to make it 2 times as quick etc.... (see zend website for more info)  If you need mysql, email back I have a nice little set of instructions to cut'n'paste  !

How to Install PHP with Zend Optimizer

     If you plan to use MySQL with PHP, it would best to upgrade/install first!

     You should install PHP first - then Zend can be done afterwards.

     Installing PHP

     Logged in as 'root' (SSH/Telnet) perform the following commands

        su
       <ENTER YOUR ROOT PASSWORD WHEN PROMPTED>
        cd /usr/local/download
        wget http://php.net/distributions/php-4.0.4pl1.tar.gz
        tar -xvzf php-4.0.4pl1.tar.gz
        cd php-4.0.4pl1
        mkdir /usr/local/php
        mv * /usr/local/php
        cd /usr/local/php
        rmdir /usr/local/download/php-4.0.4pl1
        # Use ONE of these TWO lines, NOT both!
           # Use this line if you do NOT want IMAP support
        ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --enable-track-vars
           # Use this line to include IMAP support
        ./configure --enable-trans-sid --with-mysql --with-apxs --enable-track-vars --with-imap
        make
        make install
        cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
        pico -w /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

     Change this line:

        LoadModule    php4_module    lib/apache/libphp4.so

     to

        LoadModule    php4_module    /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so

        pico -w /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf

     Find the following line in srm.conf

        #AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

     After it, add this line

        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .phtml

     This associates the .php file extension with PHP4
     (If you want index.php to be served by default you need also to add/alter this as well in the section UserDir web of the same file)

        # DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
        # directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
        DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml home.html home.htm index.php index.php4 index.p$

     Still logged in as 'root' perform the following commands to stop and restart the HTTP server

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

     Now to test the installation

        cp /usr/local/php/sapi/servlet/jinfo.php /home/sites/home/web/jinfo.php

     (you can place the jinfo.php in any suitable web directory)
     Then open jinfo.php in your browser and you will see details of the installed program.


     Then Install Zend

     Download the zend optimiser https://www.zend.com/store/free_download.php?pid=13 you can't do a wget unfortunately - you have to register and then login and download it to your local machine.
     The file you need is ZendOptimizer-1[1].0.0-PHP_4.0.4-Linux_glibc21-i386.tar/gz
     I then transfered it to my RAQ via FTP to a web directory and moved it to "/usr/local/download" (has to be an easier way but I gave up and did it this way)

     Logged in as 'root' perform the following commands

        mv /home/thedircontaingZendfromFTP/ZendOptimizer-1[1].0.0-PHP_4.0.4-Linux_glibc21-i386.tar.gz /usr/local/download
        su
       <ENTER YOUR ROOT PASSWORD WHEN PROMPTED>
        mkdir /usr/local/Zend
        mkdir /usr/local/Zend/lib
        cd /usr/local/download
        tar -xvzf ZendOptimizer-1[1].0.0-PHP_4.0.4-Linux_glibc21-i386.tar.gz
        cd ZendOptimizer-1[1].0.0-PHP_4.0.4-Linux_glibc21-i386
        mv * /usr/local/Zend
        cd /usr/local/Zend
        mv ZendOptimizer.so /usr/local/Zend/lib

     Now we need to amend your php.ini file

        pico -w /usr/local/lib/php.ini

     Find the following section;

        ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
        ; Fopen wrappers ;
        ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
        allow_url_fopen = On        ; Wheter to allow trating URLs like http:... or ftp:... like files

     Now add the follwing lines after the lines above!

        ;Zend stuff
        zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
        zend_extension="/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendOptimizer.so"

     Save and exit

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

     Done

in your phpinfo web page (jinfo.php) you will now see that there is an additional line "with Zend Optimizer v1.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2000, by Zend Technologies" this shows Optimizer has installed correctly

Have fun !
